About the Book:The construction of the Salt Lake Temple, a monumental project undertaken by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, spanned from 1853 to 1893 and was fraught with significant challenges, both natural and political. The effort began on a cold February day in 1853 when Brigham Young, the church's second prophet, broke ground for the temple in what would become Salt Lake City, Utah. Over the next four decades, the Saints faced opposition from the U.S. government, as well as natural obstacles that slowed progress. During this time, the nation was swept by some of the most significant events of the nineteenth century. The California Gold Rush brought a flood of settlers to the West, while the Civil War and the construction of the transcontinental railroad shaped the political and social landscape. As the Latter-day Saints worked on their sacred temple, they were directly entangled with five U.S. presidents, the Supreme Court, Congress, and various hostile figures in government, including governors, biased judges, and zealous federal marshals. Johnston’s Army was even dispatched to the Utah Territory at one point, further escalating tensions. Despite these immense hardships, including efforts by the federal government to assert control over the Utah Territory, the Saints persisted. They continued their work, driven by faith and the desire to complete a temple that would stand as a symbol of their dedication to God. The Salt Lake Temple became a beacon of their determination, rising against the backdrop of adversity. When it was finally dedicated in 1893, the temple stood as a testament to the Latter-day Saints’ resilience and commitment, symbolizing not only their religious devotion but also their ability to overcome both political opposition and the harsh realities of frontier life. This enthralling book, written by master storyteller Mark Henshaw, tells the narrative of the building of that iconic temple—a place of worship and refuge forty years in the making.
